A tale of two families: the fictional Ministers of Crown House, and the royal family of Windsor.
April 21, 1926 is a significant date for both households. While the old Earl of Minster is laid to rest and his son William assumes the title, the King and Queen await the birth of a royal grandchild, the baby girl destined to become Queen Elizabth II. William's wife, Alice, is lady-in-waiting to Queen Mary, and through her the two families are drawn together.
